Eating your way to sexual health is a bit of a conundrum. We really want to look and feel svelte when we are naked and riding that ride to pleasure.
However, it is good to know that to gorge out on certain foods that increase libido, erection, and play a vital role in the relationship between food and sexual health.
Studies have shown there is a range of different foods to boost hormonal levels and increase sexual function in general.
The most obvious is fish – It is packed with omegas and contain the 3 main ingredients to improve blood circulation and strengthen blood vessels, needless to say, bigger erections and a rush of blood to the clitoris making it more sensitive to touch.
Apparently garlic is a bit of a must, however, I do find it difficult to compare the sweet smell of berries to pungent garlic. But it does contain nutrients that also improve blood circulation.
Nuts for the Nuts And Other Things
Nuts like almonds and pistachios contain proteins, healthy fats and vitamins and minerals that improve blood circulation and strengthen blood vessels.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
We all know that a chili is a bit of a tease. And, a given addiction at the best of times. Some like it hot and others love it hotter.
Chilis increase metabolism and enhance blood flow. And also, mind you, increase the secretion of happy hormones like Dopamine, Endorphins and Oxytocin – all of which give that warm glow.
Dark Chocolate is another ingredient that has a host of nutrients that improve blood flow and increase the secretion of those wonderful happy hormones.
O for Orgasms and Oysters
We all know that Oysters are a natural aphrodisiac. Not only do they look evocative, the natural ingredients high in zinc also increase blood flow to the genitals and help increase sex hormones.
Drink Your Way To Natural Arousal
Green tea is a yes for general well-being and health. Not only the wonder drink for weight loss, but it also revs up sexual desire.
Black coffee, packed with energy boosting ingredients also prove to give extra stamina for sexual performance.
Red Wine. Well I guess we all know that it is common knowledge that a glass or three of red wine boost a plethora of feel good sensations, but naturally they increase libido.
Banana Shake For Sex Sake
Bananas are excellent as a source of B vitamins. needed to increase energy levels and dampen stress levels. Bananas also contain tryptophan, an amino acid, which produces serotonin, THE feel good hormone. Bananas are also packed with potassium, also used to produce sex hormones, improve the heart and and sex drive. Bananas also contain an enzyme called bromelain, this helps improve blood flow and increase libido as well as increase sperm count!
Pomegranates
Pomegranates have always been linked to sex, for good reason.
So, let me tell you carefully: in ancient times the pomegranate fruit was believed to drive men and women crazy with desire for each other.
In modern times, the pomegranate is believed to increase a man’s testosterone to incredible heights.
It has been said that a glass of pomegranate juice a day for two weeks will harden a man’s penis, and for woman, the reaction is a little more subtle and poetic. It is said that a glass of pure pomegranate for two weeks will increase even a frigid woman’s arousal.
The Story Of Proserpina, the Greek Goddess of Spring
Proserpina is abducted by Pluto, King of the underworld. Pluto is eventually forced to release Proserpina so she can return to the world of the living. But only if she eats six seeds of the pomegranate first.
She eats of the pomegranate and returns to earth’s surface, bringing with her Spring and Summer. But the pomegranate maddens her with desire six months out of the year, so she goes back to the arms of Pluto those months, leaving the earth to suffer autumn and winter because she is gone.
End Note
Communicate with your partner and be comfortable about your sexual needs or wants or desires, this will help improve anxiety. Anxiety is never a good thing and never solve sexually related issues. Personal or otherwise.
